You’re telling me I don’t have to wait for my pasta to boil *or* get out of bed to turn on my espresso machine? Life changing.

I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. 

Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.

Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc, close by, even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked, but it works and I love it, so money well spent!" —Amber

Nap Guardian is a small business that specializes in doorbell covers for home use. 

Promising review: "This iis well made and very easy to apply. I have it on my Ring doorbell camera and it keeps delivery people from ringing my doorbell very well. It also does not obstruct my view or notifications for my Ring doorbell camera. Great for when taking a nap!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient, and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps, and a big clean up afterwards. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly-measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap." —Smilin Sam

Promising review: "Bought the 2-pack. Wanted my mother to be able to reach rarely used items in the topmost cupboard without getting on a step stool if my sisters and I weren't available. I'm using the other one to pick up trash when out mudlarking. Sturdy and convenient that it folds up." —Kristen

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart-enable" other parts of your home. Some also add it to their kitchen appliances like coffee brewers or kettles so they can start their cup of joe without getting out of bed. 

Promising review: "I recently purchased the SwitchBot Bot to control the light switch in my bedroom, and I'm incredibly impressed with its performance. Setting it up was a breeze — just a few simple steps and was able to connect it to my Bluetooth without any issues. The SwitchBot Bot works exactly as described. With just a tap on my phone, can easily turn my light switch on or off. It's incredibly convenient, especially for those times when you forget to turn off the lights before leaving a room." —Blossom

Get it from Amazon for $24.65 (available in white and black). 

You can literally make anything with this little guy! With seven preset functions you can saute, steam, make soups, cook meat, porridge, rice, even yogurt? (I definitely need to look up how that works). 

Promising review: "I hate cooking, and this magic pot will almost make dinner for you! There are so many easy recipes that even the worst cook will be able to make a meal taste like they worked hours on it! Just be careful if you are going to manually reduce the pressure steam... use an oven mitt and do it very slow... otherwise you'll have sauce spitting everywhere." —Travelgal13 

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three sizes). 

Bambusi is a small business that specializes in quality made home products. 

Promising review: "Surprisingly sturdy and well made. Assembly and construction is excellent, and the accessories are quite clever. On balance, the tray is impressive and well worth its cost. A thoughtful gift, especially for anyone who likes to relax in the tub, but not without their accessories and a glass of wine." —Barry 

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four colors). 

Promising reviews: "If you hate scrubbing the toilet bowl like I do, then this product is for you. The bleach only goes into the bowl of water, not the tank, so it doesn't make your tank parts disintegrate. Don't get me wrong; you still have to clean your toilet seat and stuff, but this keeps the bowl itself sparkly clean! Just love it!" —S.L. Beason

"Best purchase of 2023! I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now, and this is my review. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning. It was infuriating, and I found myself cleaning toilets literally 2–3 times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap I figured, why not, so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now, and from what I'm seeing, I should be able to clean my toilets maybe once every two months now. I am so happy. If you have hard water buildup issues, do yourself a favor and buy one of these, try it on a single toilet first, just to be sure, but I think you will be happy :)." —nima bean

Get the kit from Amazon for $13.37 (two-packs of refills are available for $6.28).

Aromas include lemon, rose, jasmine, and more. 

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through repeated flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —SimpleStyleMe

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets).

Promising review: "I've been wanting to make chopped salads, but didn't have anything beyond a regular knife that would do the chopping work. These hardly LOOK like they'll work — at least as they appear in the Amazon photo — but I ordered one based on the high reviews. I received them this afternoon and immediately put them to use. DANG!, they really work! It takes no time or effort to chop a bowl full of goodies. And it cleans easily. I see myself as making so many chopped salads from now on that it'll add years to my life. And I'll be experimenting by throwing in more kinds of vegetables... I had no hesitation with bell peppers. I find that a chopped salad just tastes much better than one with whole pieces of spinach leaves and such. I just had to hop on here and spread the good news right away!" —D OC

Each pack comes with six markers and six wax sticks in the following colors: maple, oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany, and black. 

Promising review: "I had scratches on my maple-colored wood floor and didn’t want to go through the hassle of sanding and staining, especially since the scratches were not very big. These pens worked amazingly to hide the scratches, and now you can only see them if you shine a light and look closely at an angle. I also used the cherry color pen on a wooden bed frame, which hid the scratches really well! I can’t say much about the crayons, but the pens were top-notch! And the price was great:)" —Mauricio  

Promising reviews: "This is the laundry basket we have on top of our dryer for whites. It is attractive, holds up nicely and if we have people over, they do not need to see our laundry displayed. Love it!" —Karen R.

"Wow very thick and sturdy! I’m quite surprised. Love it for my nursery laundry basket for all the toys. The color is just as photo shows, complementary for all decor types. Good value for the money!"  —Ichi Ban

You may need a few applications at first if your bathroom has stubborn grime. Once your shower is clear, just spray this once a week to keep it sparkling. 

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then I will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. 

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).  

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says, "I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it. (I like mine medium-boiled. 🍳) If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra oomph to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!"

Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "When I first saw this, I immediately thought it was completely ridiculous. But it kept popping up in my periphery, and one day, after seeing it on YouTube, I bought it on impulse, along with a page-turner. And so glad I did! It is so easy to clip in your Kindle and twist/extend it into the perfect angle, and the bowl is a great spot to stash my page-turner, earbuds, etc. Paired with the page turner, it's a total game changer, you can get cozy under blankets and not even have to move your hands, which is significantly more comfortable for bedtime reading (and safer — who else has dropped a Kindle on their face??). I am very nearsighted, and it's easy to tuck the pillow in and angle the Kindle close to my face. I also like using it just in my lap, where I can elevate the Kindle and avoid neck and wrist strain on those long reading sessions! I don't even feel embarrassed when my husband makes fun of it; it's that good :P If you love your Kindle, you will love this pillow!" —J Thornberg

Get it from Amazon for $35.97+ (available in three colors). 

It comes with a removable liner for the hamper that can be easily lifted out and wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Promising review: "Straightforward assembly and a beautiful product, I was really happy. This looks perfect in a small bathroom, and hides the unsightly laundry pile nicely. I keep makeup on top and extra toilet paper in the middle, with plenty of space. The bamboo is nice and water resistant too, so it deals well with humidity." —AJohns

Promising review: "First off, I am an awful cook anyway. My wife, however, is a great cook. NEITHER OF US could cook rice correctly. Every time it would be too water, or too dry, or burnt. I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife since she loves rice, and wha-la! We can cook rice now! It's awesome! Super easy to use, doesn't take a lot of time. You set it and forget it ’til the timer runs off. We've used it for brown and white rice, and it has worked great for both!"—Bethany Hanusch 

Each candle requires 3 AAA batteries, which are not included. 

Promising review: "I bought one set and loved them so much I bought two more sets. They're the most realistic looking fake candles I've bought so far. The 'flame' up close obviously doesn't look real but from afar with the flicker setting on, you almost can't tell these aren't real. They also put out a decent amount of light for being fake. Gives my living room a very cozy feel which is what I wanted. Remote works great as well." —suckerforcats 

Get a set of three from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three styles). 

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Promising review: "Great item — easy to store organizer for eyeglasses, small alarm clock, iPhone, small water bottle, TV remote, hand cream, etc. Easy to reach for items at your fingertips, I no longer have to reach over to my nightstand to grab something. My nightstand is de-cluttered. Bought another one for my husband to place on his side of the bed. Very functional, useful, does not stick out from the bed mattress." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in six colors). 

The two-speed runs for about three hours on a single USB-C charge. It comes with seven scrubber heads.

Promising review: "I recently got this handheld cleaning brush, and it made cleaning so much easier! It has two speed options, a clear battery display, and charges quickly with a USB-C cable. The different brush heads are great for different surfaces, and they’re super easy to swap out. I also love that it’s waterproof, so I can use it in the bathroom without worry. Overall, it’s lightweight, simple to use, and gets the job done. Highly recommend!" —Mplat

Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." —MER

Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack).

Promising review: "My blanket is so beautiful. I chose white so I can use it everywhere. It’s so fluffy and thick. Size is perfect and it’s so very warm! I’m going to buy another one for my guest room." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $54.89+  (available in three colors). 

This is also perfect for those leftover fries, tacos, and nuggets that just get soggy in the microwave. 

Promising review: "I had no idea how well these would work. You can put toast or rolls or anything that will fit in the slot — even if it has jelly or spread or anything on it — in the bag in the toaster and it doesn't hurt the toaster, and the food comes out warm." —mare36

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in a ten-pack).
